What beautiful creations. Elizabeth Craft Design products allow each and every one of us to look like a professional in our creations. Thank you Elizabeth Craft Designs for your time and efforts in creating such amazing products.

So difficult to choose one but seeing the versatile use of the Poinsettia stamp I think that could become a huge favourite for me. And I will make it work all year long for summer and other occasions as well.

Gorgeous cards!! Seeing the tutorial on Friday with the poinsettia stamp (and die-) set I think I want to give that technique a try so I choose that stamp set with the dies.
But of course I get greedy seeing all those wonderful cards so I want them all.

I know this isn’t a traditional flower but I love magnolias! The creamy white petals against the dark green shinny leaves are so distinctive. I’m crazy for pine cones and berries too. I love the pinecones and evergreen boughs!

I would love the lacy cut out poinsettia as top choice but you do have so many beautiful sayings and I so enjoy all the different flowers that are so real like I would have a hard time giving them away. Thank you for giving us a chance for winning your product. Have a blessed Thanksgiving! Hugs!

I absolutely love what Sara did with the ModaScrap Poinsettia, ModaScrap Pair of Leaves 1 and Trio of Leaves die sets along with White Soft Finish Cardstock. It’s beautiful, as are all the design team cards.

Wow, lovely inspiration from everyone! Love the dimension of those gorgeous pinecones on Tanja’s tag.
And I can see why the Poinsettia stamp set is sold out … it is stunning! I love the pretty holly leaf branch
just as much as the beautiful poinsettia. That’s the set I’d love to use for my Christmas cards.

I am moore of a traditional person and tend to go for the traditional colors, so I like the card by Tina, for it is simple and has less on the card. It is more focused and you see what’s on the card such as the poinsettia and the berries and the colors (more is less).
But all the cards are beautiful.

What beautiful cards! Each one is so unique. It is amazing to see how different people using the same product create such a variety of ideas. There are a lot of beautiful choices but I would have to go with the Poinsettia stamp set. It is just gorgeous! 🙂

I love all the beautiful cards showcased here. If I were going to make a Christmas card and could use just one it would have to be the Garden Note small Poinsettia. I just think that is the most beautiful Christmas flower.

There are so many talented designers…they are all my favorite! I appreciate sharing their talents, and giving me so much inspiration. I’m a traditional Christmas fan of the poinsettia clear stamp and die sets.

Wow so many lovely cards, decorations, etc. Obviously making cards with poinsettias and holly is a must but I also love the tag with the pine ones. That is a nice change. I also loved the Christmas tree decorated with the small poinsettias. That was very clever and was beautiful

You’re poinsettias are beautiful and one of the flowers I love making. They seem to make the Christmas cards ‘pop’. Thanks for sharing all your ideas of making cards for this Holiday season. Now I just need to get busy myself.
